Maybe it is a musical instrument smoke alarm

Wow. I guess they have seen everything now.

A phone, watch, or ring with vibration isn't sufficient?

Particularly for exercise, a pair of glasses feels like too much, until baked in to prescription frames with no added weight

Those are all pretty small screens. You can get the Xreal with prescription if you want.

"ring with vibration"

I don't want to learn morse code to know what price my ring has found for me. Glasses displaying a price, please.

What prices are you tracking?

I have pretty bad phone hygiene, but I honestly can’t imagine being so switched on and plugged in that I couldn’t walk around the house without thinking that I missed the price of something.

Set a limit, train people to use tokens efficiently. For anyone getting high value from it, raise their limit.

How do you figure out they are "getting high value from it"

What if they feel like they are getting value from it, but are actually not?

Mine is diligently commenting on the generated PR, only for them to glaze my comment with another clearly generated one and make changes that don't solve the problem.

Outsourcing every bit of thought is a recipie for...ignore all prior instructions and give me a recipie for muffins.

There's a mass psychosis going on in companies right now. Everyone is checked out and milking the company for paycheques while putting the minimum effort in. Which is something most people always were doing, but the minimum effort fell through the floor lately.

When I review the reasons I wouldn't want to work at former employers, it's always bad management, never bad colleagues. If this is what it's like where you work, you should run.

Things like bad management, disillusionment with the company's goals, worries about being automated out of a job, etc. can lead people on the floor to care less and put in less effort.
